Registration & Payment Options

- register early to ensure your place in class and to qualify for the early registration incentive of 5% off (ending August 1)!

- Tuition and registration fees are due at time of registration.

- By registering for classes or private lessons you are committing to the entire session and the full amount of tuition.

- Registration Fees : A registration fee is charged for each session. Registration fees are $13 for an individual registration and $20 for a family registration for Fall session. Registration fees are non-refundable unless a class is cancelled by The Fine Arts Association due to low enrollment.

- Full Payment: Pay in full by August 1, 2008 and receive our early registration incentive of 5% off all classes and lessons. Cash, check, Visa or MasterCard accepted.

- Monthly Payment Option : Lesson and class tuitions that total over $200 are eligible to be paid using our payment plan. Upon registration, students pay the registration fee, six weeks of class tuition, and a $10 service fee. The remaining tuition is then divided into three equal monthly payments. Payments are charged to a credit or debit card number (provided by the client at registration) on the three designated monthly due dates. If using a payment plan, no discounts apply except for the Willoughby resident discount. If using the payment plan, registration must be made in person at the Customer Service Center .

Class Confirmation/Cancellation

The Fine Arts Association does not mail confirmations for class enrollment. Classes will be cancelled up to 36 hours prior to first class if there is insufficient enrollment. In this case, you will be notified by phone. If you are enrolled in a class that must be cancelled, the Customer Service staff will work with you to find an alternate choice. If no alternate choice is satisfactory, you will receive a full refund.

Student Withdrawals

Refunds for class or lesson tuitions are given only when a student withdraws from a class or lessons at least seven days prior to the first day of class or scheduled lessons. Registration fees and payment plan fees are non-refundable. Refunds will not be given to any student who is asked to withdraw from a class due to disruptive behavior.

Class or Lesson Make-ups

Class or lesson make-ups are given only when the instructor cancels a class or a lesson. Student absences are not required to be made up by the instructor. All students are encouraged to notify their instructors that they will be absent by calling the Customer Service Center at 440-951-7500. Your notification of your inability to attend a class is a courtesy to the instructor, but we regret we cannot excuse you from payment of the class or lesson for which you have contracted.

Mid-Session Registration

Classes

Registrations are accepted in most group classes after a session begins. Based on availability and class structure, class tuition fees will be pro-rated. Classes that have occurred prior to registering mid-session will not be made up.

Waiting List Procedure

Class sizes are limited and acceptance into a class is on a first-come basis. When a class limit is reached, you may request to be added to a waiting list. In the event a student withdraws, or if a new class is added, those on the waiting list will be contacted. You will receive a call ONLY if a space becomes available.
